Waxahachie Ck

Nice, quiet park. Very friendly and helpful staff. There are some improvements ongoing to some campsites but overall it was clean and quiet and everything worked. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

I wish I could rate this campground higher because it was so peaceful with quite a bit of bushy vegetation to provide a small measure of privacy between sites. This is as close to nature as one can get in a campground! There was poison ivy on the trees next to us and in the mowed ground around the campsite. There were so many butterflies, flies, and other flying insects on the sunny side of our RV that it made entering and exiting through the sliding door very difficult. And, the ANTS! After one night in our site, the ants had formed an active trail to the top of our RV. Consequently, we had ants inside the RV!

The roads inside the campground need to be repaved.

The camp host and the park ranger were both very friendly and informative.

The park has potential. It hadn't been maintained in a while, the grass was really high, and the restroom and showers were less desirable.

Our group of 7 couples with rv's was so excited that this park had opened back up after being closed for a couple years. We assumed it was closed for renovations...wrong! The only renovations that we could see was new water lines and spigots. The roads were in bad shape; the park and camp sites were overgrown with tall weeds; it was very difficult to reach the shoreline (we had boats) due to the overgrown weeds between the campsites and the shore; some of the sites had no electricity at the site's electrical stand which meant 2 of our group had to move sites after setting up; we were all invaded with armies of ants; there was only one dumpster for the entire park located at the group pavilion which had a rutted road leading to it; the restrooms were in bad shape and the one closest to our sites didn't have a sidewalk to it from the road so it sat in tall weeds; the boat ramp had a large tree limb blocking one lane; the floating dock was not accessible with the walk ramp no longer connected; one side of the park was yellow taped off. It's so sad that this park seems to have been forgotten for some reason. This COE park has the potential to be beautiful with some major attention!

Went to Ennis TX and stayed at the COE Waxahachie Creek on Bardwell Lake. It just opened back up after being closed for a few years. They need to close it back down again and have contractors come in and modernize it. Looks like they installed new water lines. But the areas around the sites need to be mowed and reworked to make it more level and make it easier to get campers in and out of especially with slides, very tight turns. The electric needs to be gone through and fixed. Two of our sites and another family had issues with power and had to move. The back up sites had worn out 30 amp outlets had to use 50 amp adapter. The gate host were nice and tried to help us find new spots to move to. Also one site played music loud till after midnight
Told the camp host about it, later found out from another camper that it was the.camp host drunk adult son. Still was playing it loud the next night. Would be a great camp ground if it was brought up to speed. Checked out the other camp ground on the lake (High View and Mott) were better but the sites were short and not level for the most part. Went there to see the Blue Bonnets and attend the festival in Ennis. Which was worth the trip. Want to come back to the festival next year but will look for somewhere else to stay unless the problems are fixed. Would look for other options to camp out in the area.
